On Linux, you'll need proper privileges to communicate with the bootloader device. You can either use `sudo` when flashing firmware (not recommended), or place [this file](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/util/udev/50-qmk.rules) into `/etc/udev/rules.d/`.

* **Note**: some operating systems need root access for these commands to work, so in that case you need to run for example `sudo make planck/rev4:default:flash`. Visit the [Flashing Firmware](flashing.md) guide for more details of the available bootloaders.
* **Note**: some operating systems need privileged access for these commands to work. This means that you may need to setup [`udev rules`](faq_build.md#linux-udev-rules) to access these without root access, or to run the command with root access (`sudo make planck/rev4:default:flash`).
* `clean`, cleans the build output folders to make sure that everything is built from scratch. Run this before normal compilation if you have some unexplainable problems. * `clean`, cleans the build output folders to make sure that everything is built from scratch.

* `distclean` removes .hex files and .bin files.
The following targets are for developers:
* `show-path` shows the path of the source and object files.
* `dump-vars` dumps the makefile variable.
* `objs-size` displays the size of individual object files.
* `show_build_options` shows the options set in 'rules.mk'.
* `check-md5` displays the md5 checksum of the generated binary file.
You can also add extra options at the end of the make command line, after the target You can also add extra options at the end of the make command line, after the target
* `make COLOR=false` - turns off color output * `make COLOR=false` - turns off color output

* `make EXTRAFLAGS=-E` - Preprocess the code without doing any compiling (useful if you are trying to debug #define commands) * `make VERBOSE_LD_CMD=yes` - execute the ld command with the -v option.
* `make VERBOSE_AS_CMD=yes` - execute the as command with the -v option.
* `make VERBOSE_C_CMD=<c_source_file>` - add the -v option when compiling the specified C source file.

The make command itself also has some additional options, type `make --help` for more information. The most useful is probably `-jx`, which specifies that you want to compile using more than one CPU, the `x` represents the number of CPUs that you want to use. Setting that can greatly reduce the compile times, especially if you are compiling many keyboards/keymaps. I usually set it to one less than the number of CPUs that I have, so that I have some left for doing other things while it's compiling. Note that not all operating systems and make versions supports that option. The make command itself also has some additional options, type `make --help` for more information.
